🪞Yesterday's Thursday Night Meditations w/Shanti presenting from the Heart & Soul Series had us practicing 2 forms of Tratak meditation - mirror meditation (Darpana Trataka) and eye gazing at a picture of a spiritual master (Murti Trataka).

Both processes of Tratak were preceded by Gibberish active Meditation to shake out the excess energy mental and physical energies that would otherwise go to the mind and create more clouding from the silence within. This step was followed by each participant's chosen form of Tratak. In the first form, one sits with a mirror at the height or slightly higher than the eyes and stares without blinking into their own eyes, reflecting their gaze back upon them. In the 2nd form, one sits staring with open eyes at the eyes of the master in the photo without blinking, allowing a circular window of gaze and pe*******on to unfold.

This practice has many manifestations and mysteries that can be experienced and moved through, that it is impossible to speak of one particular outcome or purpose of this meditation technique. What can be said by all who came, was that it was a relaxing and enjoyable process that revealed unexpected and illuminating experiences! 🙏🏻

✨️Come join us each Thursday from 7-8:30 pm PST, in-person and online on Zoom, to learn a new and helpful meditation technique to assist in connecting with the journey inward! The event link is posted in the IG bio!

The workshop is happening at The World of Meditation Center and on Zoom April 10th – 12th.

The Early Bird Cost of the Workshop (until April 2nd) is: $240.00 plus the new 10.55% Seattle Sales Tax: = $265.32. After April 2nd, the price is $275 plus 10.55% Seattle Sales Tax = $304.00. *The City of Seattle and the State of Washington are now collecting Sales Tax on Workshops!*

We look forward to each and every one of you joining us at this poignant time. As we explore the ways in which we "protect" ourselves, consciously and unconsciously, from circumstances and conditions within life, we will have opportunities to see the ways we perceive those protections to have benefitted us, the costs they impose on our lives and energy, and the possibilities of moving through and beyond them. It will be a rich and powerful process!

🚨Revolution is possible only in the individual soul. The social revolution is a pseudo phenomenon, because the society has no soul of its own. Revolution is a spiritual phenomenon. There can be no political revolution, no social revolution, no economic revolution. The only revolution is that of the spirit; it is individual. And if millions of individuals change, then the society will change as a consequence, not vice versa. You cannot change the society first and hope that individuals will change later on.

That's why revolutions have been failing: because we have taken revolution from a very wrong direction. We have thought that if you change the society, change the structure, economic or political, then one day the individuals, the constituent elements of the society, will change. This is stupid. Who is going to do this revolution?
..All revolutions will go on failing in the same way, because their very foundation is wrong. Revolution cannot be imposed from above. Who will impose it? The people who impose it will be part of the past; they will continue the past. Tell the people that there is no future for political revolutions. Only one kind of revolution is possible, and that is spiritual revolution. Each individual has to change in his being, and if we can change millions of people then the society will change. There is no other way, there is no shortcut.

And this too has to be understood: It is an inherent characteristic of any developing system that heroes emerge and are heroes only in the context which stimulated their creation. As these heroes overcome and change such contexts, the heroes themselves become the context to be changed...

Political leaders are temporary leaders. They exist in a certain context; when the context is gone they are gone.

That is where Buddhas are different: their context is eternity. Their context is not a part of time. This is where Jesus, Zarathustra, Lao Tzu, remain eternally meaningful: because they are not part of time their message is eternal. Their message exists in the context of human misery, human ignorance. Unless the whole existence becomes enlightened, Buddha will not become irrelevant.

That's why I say political leaders come and go, they are on the stage just for a few moments. Only spiritual beings remain, abide.

Buddha is still meaningful and will remain meaningful, forever and forever, because enlightenment will always be a need. Politicians don't make the real history of humanity; they only create noise. The real history is something else that runs like an undercurrent. The real history has not yet been written, because we become too engrossed in the temporal things. We become too obsessed with the newspaper which is only relevant today and tomorrow will be meaningless.

If you have eyes to see, see the point: become interested in the eternal...

My work here is of creativity. I am not provoking you into any destruction, I am not telling you to blame others for your misery. I am telling you you are responsible, so only those who have the guts to take this responsibility can be with me. But this is a real revolution. If you take the responsibility for your life you can start changing it. Slow will be the change, only in the course of time will you start moving into the world of light and crystallization, but once you are crystallized you will know what real revolution is. Then share your revolution with others; it has to go that way, from heart to heart...

❣️A reminder about our Sacred Sharing Circle tonight, Monday, 7-8:30 pm PST!

Sacred sharing circles are traditional, safe, and confidential spaces...While at WoM it is done a bit differently than practices rooted in Indigenous traditions—the sacred container of sharing with the group can support us to heal emotional, mental, & physical pain through respectful, non-judgmental time to speak whatever is there from our minds AND hearts. Each person is given 10-15 minutes to share, while others practice active, compassionate listening.

"Whenever you feel something tension-like is gathering, share. Catch hold of any stranger, because in fact all are strangers. Some strangers you have known for a few years, some for a few months, some a few days, some you have just come to know, but you are strangers. Even your husband with whom you have lived for years is a stranger. Two strangers living together by and by become familiar, that’s all.

Run and share with anybody, but never be miserly. I have been watching (to a sannyasin); you are becoming a little miserly. And you can like yourself only when you love. In fact when somebody likes you, only then can you like yourself. Each relationship is a mirror; it reveals your identity to you. Each relationship brings you something of your inner heart which was unknown to you before. Man is such an infinity that thousands of relationships are needed – the father, the mother, the brother, sister, husband, wife, friend.

Thousands of types of relationships are needed to reveal you from every corner, from every aspect of your being, so that you know all your faces. Even then, all that you know about yourself will be less than you are. It can never be more than you, & it can never be equal to you because you are such an infinity that all the mirrors of the world cannot exhaust you. Something will always remain elusive.

Share more, & let sharing be the only law. To be a miser is to be a sinner. That is my definition of being a sinner. Mm? We are here for such a short time; why be a miser? Share, and whatsoever you give, give wholeheartedly and much will come automatically..."

🙏🏻❤️ Osho, from "Hammer on the Rock"

💡These words from Osho strike me as a poignant reminder...the words of Osho, or any of the great Masters, that give us pointers to the eternal Truth, will never be tasted and experienced as Truth without Meditation. ❗️

For those of you who join us here on social media to become refreshed of Osho's wisdom and to imbibe in the alivenes that these words point to - we are grateful for your continued presence and reception of these transmissions.

But, there is MORE...

As Osho has so nakedly put it to us in this discourse excerpt, "[Without meditation], you will NEVER become wise...Don't waste your time in accumulating knowledge...Take the quantum leap towards wisdom. LIVE in EXPERIENCE the things I am telling you." 🙏🏻

❣️Let that transmission in words move deeper within you...

Will you take the quantum leap and join us for one or more of our various meditation offerings? We offer numerous opportunities to practice various techniques that Osho brought to us 6 days a week, in addition to transformational workshops (that incorporate meditation) offered several times throughout the year! Our offerings are IN SERVICE TO LOVE, AFFORDABLE, and ACCESSIBLE, with many offerings available both ONLINE on Zoom AND In-Person!

We invite you to take the leap, join us, and experience something that can not ever be fully received through words alone - a reality more alive and love-filled than anything our minds could imagine or articulate! ❤️🪷

Check out our events posted here on FB and our full listing of up-to-date meditation and workshop offerings, as well as counseling and coaching services with Schenker, on www.worldofmeditation.com TODAY! ✨️

NO PIERDAS EL TIEMPO ACUMULANDO CONOCIMIENTO: ESO LO PUEDES HACER INCLUSO SIN MÍ, EN UNA BIBLIOTECA.

«Cuando hablo de meditación, puedes hacer dos cosas: recopilar todo lo que digo sobre el tema, hacer antologías, volverte una persona muy culta en la materia, porque hablo de ello todos los días desde distintos puntos de vista, desde perspectivas y dimensiones diferentes…
Podrías incluso llegar a ser tan erudito que obtengas un título universitario,
pero si no meditas, nunca te volverás sabio.

Todo lo que yo diga, verifícalo en la vida.
No pierdas el tiempo acumulando conocimiento: eso lo puedes hacer incluso sin mí, en una biblioteca.
Da el salto cuántico hacia la sabiduría.
Vive en experiencia las cosas que te estoy diciendo.»

Osho, Meditazione per chi ha fretta

📢 Every Saturday (unless otherwise noted) from 10-11:30 a.m. PST we offer Osho's Dynamic Meditation online on Zoom! Osho created this active Meditation scientifically to help the body release tensions of all kinds - mental, emotional, and physical - to prepare the grounds for accessing the stillness within.

According to Osho, the modern man differed from man of the past in his experience of living in a society filled with stressors and overstimulation. In times past there was less suppression and more connection with the natural daily rhythms, and therefore, a greater ability to sit in passive meditation and less need for catharsis.

Anyone alive in these tumultuous times can recognize that in the world we occupy now, the need to expend the build-up of excess tension and energies is vital to cleanse the system and assist in creating the opening for authentic silence to take root. Dynamic Meditation is a method created for just those purposes! If you have ever had a hard time sitting still in passive sitting meditations, or if you feel a backlog of energy looking for a safe container and outlet to release into, please join us on Zoom this and each Saturday!

💡So often new meditators either pick one kind of meditation they were taught and stick with it dogmatically, hoping their determination and resolve will be enough to reap the benefits of the practice, or seasoned practioners get stuck in a rut doing the same technique they felt helped them to drop into relaxation and awareness in the past without having that current experience in the present, or seeing their efforts come to a standstill. 🫤

💥But people, and our energy, are dynamic and shifting. For new meditators, it is important to seek and feel into what each technique has to offer and how it feels. For the experienced and seasoned meditator, it can be vital to approach meditation with fresh aspects and vantage points of access into "the mystery" of inner spaciousness. 🌌

Each Thursday, Shanti Schenker-Skye brings both new and experienced meditators alike variety and freshness through meditations from our "Heart and Soul Series". Often when Shanti (one of the meditation facilitators of The World of Meditation) would meet with Osho in a Darshan, he would introduce to her a meditation technique, asking her to try it out. Her love for experimenting with a variety of techniques continues even to this day. This meditation night offers techniques that go beyond the more foundational hallmark practices of Osho Dynamic, Osho Kundalini, Osho No-Mind (Gibberish), and take us into different subtle energy and even esoteric techniques.

At the beginning of the session Shanti will introduce the steps for each particular meditation presented, followed by the meditation practice itself. Some techniques offered have included Nadabrahma, Nataraj, Devavani, Osho Mandala, Tratak, Tribal, Full Moon, Watching the River, and more! There is always time before and after each meditation to ask questions and to just hang out with each other!

We hope you can join us Thursday nights from 7-8:30 pm PDT in-person at the Center and online on Zoom to expand your meditation repertoire, or to take on a fresh angle by using different vital aspects of the body and senses to move deeper within to silence and Awareness!

There is still time to register and join us for our upcoming workshop, "Beyond Approval: Awakening Inner Acceptance," happening October 17-19, online and in-person! The cost for the workshop is $295, and payment plans can be arranged.

So many of us, through the course of our lives, have become disconnected from our innate sense of worthiness. We have learned to put on masks and seek approval from others, doubting or having forgotten completely, our innate sense of worth and capacities for self-acceptance and self compassion.

In this weekend workshop, we will start the process of inquiry and self-discovery around our experiences around WORTHINESS!

Through a blend of reflective exercises, small group discussions, meditation processes, and creative activities, participants will:

• Identify patterns and strategies around seeking approval from others
• Discover the underlying conditioning and beliefs that drive the need for acceptance
• Work with insightful self-compassion and self-acceptance techniques
• Use effective tools to connect with a resilient inner sense of worth
• Experience and explore actions that help set healthy boundaries and honor the creative nature within, without comparison

We invite you to join us on this poignant and significant exploration! ❤️
